Executive Decision

Owen is no longer allowed to order any food at restaurants. Or, rather, we are not ordering him anything for the near future.

He has wanted French fries lately so we went to Red Robin and ordered him a cheese pizza (one of the few things he’ll eat) with fries. He saw the picture of a chocolate shake and wanted that, so we figured What the hell, it will be a special treat (he’s never asked for one before, but he’s had some of Tom’s so we know he likes it).

So the meal comes and…he refuses to drink the shake, he refuses to eat the fries, and he refuses to eat the pizza. He didn’t even want the yogurt we brought from home. He just drank two glasses of milk.

Argh.

So from now on? He gets his favorite cheese crackers, a granola bar, or fries (if we get them) off our plate. No more wasting money on food he might or might not eat.
